Celadon Lobed Vase, Korea, 21st century, |
Saturday, July 5 - Sunday, July 12
Korea Celadon, The Millennium Face
Celadon was introduced to Korea from China around the 9th century
during the Unified Shilla dynasty (668–935 AD) and flourished during
the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392 AD). By the 12th century Goryeo potters
achieved a distinctive blue-green hue and inlaid technique called sanggam,
which resulted in subtle, but alluring, white and black designs after
firing.

Thursday, July 10, 8:30-9:30pm
Invisible Portraits by Hung Viet Tran (2008, 20 min.)
One Los Angeles night, seven people seek escape: Rosa searches for a mysterious caballero who will take her to her husband, while Todd and Phuong seek to leave their strict family. A long-distance romance has one couple trying to find each other outside the digital world, and two friends have an unexpected encounter on a desolated road.
Hung Viet Tran is an artist and filmmaker. His work is about people, environment, technology, dream, story, and language, often inspired by his travels and the need to search for the unfamiliar.
Chinese Ghost Story by Dan Boord and Luis Valdovino (2008, 25 min.)
It is estimated that over 1,300 Chinese laborers perished during construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. While the remains of many were eventually shipped home, others lie in unmarked graves throughout the American West. Chinese Ghost Story is a poetic essay in which history and landscape intersect in ghost towns, parks and undisturbed railroad grade.
Dan Boord is a Professor and Luis Valdovino an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Their work has been exhibited around the world.
Free with admission; call 626.449.2742 ext. 31 to RSVP.
